In addition to decades of professional competence, it is the enthusiasm for art that has characterised Ketterer Kunst since its foundation in 1954. Ketterer Kunst's early internet presence helped to expand the company's international orientation. The combination of tradition and innovation, the focus on selected special fields, as well as the proximity to the customers, contributed significantly to the success concept of Ketterer Kunst and made it the auction house with the highest turnover in Germany and one of the leading auction houses in Europe.
